"Papa loves you a lot," Mr Ning said.

"And I love Papa too. I will talk to you some other time. Bye. I will hang up now," Ning Xiaozhi said.

"Hmm. Bye."

TOOT TOOT

Ning Xiaozhi sighed as she dropped her phone on the dinning table and picked up her spoon. The ginseng chicken soup was almost cold so she decided to quickly eat it and go to her room to get some sleep.

Emperor's Enterprise, Finance Department.

"Come on Suzy. Tell me what you want. I have an apartment of my own. We could go there. Or you want me to move into your place instead?" Wen Shaoming asked.

He had followed Bei Suzy to their table after she left where Bai Renxiang's table is situated. They are table neighbours. So it was not too awkward when he followed her.

Bei Suzy just ignored his continuous teasing as she sat on her chair and started arranging some files on her table.

Seeing as she is trying to ignore him, Wen Shaoming smiled more. He found her little actions to be cute and funny but he did not laugh.

He dragged his chair towards her and sat down while facing her. He stopped the movement of her hands with his. Wen Shaoming then, turned her body along with the chair so that she would be facing him too.

Bei Suzy looked down from his gaze making Wen Shaoming to let out an audibly deep sigh.

"Are we avoiding eyes now, Suzy?" He asked to which Bei Suzy shook her head. She then reluctantly raised her eyes to meet his bluish green ones.

"There. Now that is better," he said as he flashed her a smile, showcasing his dimples on both sides of his cheek.

Bei Suzy averted her gaze back down so as not to get caught blushing again.

'Gosh. Can this guy not be so adorable and handsome at the same time? Try to focus Suzy. Focus,' Bei Suzy chanted in her head before she looked back at him.

"Ahem. Wh-what do you want?" She tried to sound unaffected.

"Well, will you be okay if I say...you?" He answered her question with his own question. It made Bei Suzy shocked and perplexed.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Sigh. Do not try to act all innocent here, Ms. Gorgeous. You know pretty well what I mean. But since you still want to hear it, I will say it," he took a pause.

"You asked what I want and my answer is you. I want you Bei Susan. I want your heart and I know want mine too," he blurted out.

"What? Wh-who told you that? St-stop..stop spouting nonsense," Bei Suzy berated him.

"I am not spouting nonsense here, Suzy. I am god damn serious. I love you. You love me too but you do not want to admit it," he confronted her.

"How long are you going to keep it to yourself? I want to know the reason why you refuse to accept your love for me. I want to know why you are doing this to yourself. Why you are doing this to me? To us?" He asked not letting his gaze move from her face.

Bei Suzy knows that he is very serious from the mentioning of her full name from him. But she still decides to avoid the conversation.

"We are at work Shaoming. Mr Longwen will scold us of he sees us talking and not working," she said in a low voice.

"He will not see us if you just tell me what is holding you and your feelings back. O just want an honest truth from you. That is all," he pressed further.

Bei Suzy bit her bottom lip as she looked at her hands that were currently behind held by Wen Shaoming.

"It.... I am not. Sigh. I just do not think you should like someone like me Shaoming," she finally said.

"And why not? If I should not like you then who should I like?" Wen Shaoming asked in confusion. What does she mean by 'someone like me'? What is wrong with her?

p "You should like someone who has parents and is financially stable," Bei Suzy said. "Not me. A poor orphan."

Wen Shaoming's eyes darken at her description. He hates it when she degrades herself like the she just did. He hates it so much that it makes his blood boil.

"And what is there not to like in a poor orphan? What is there not to like in someone that is independent and has a good heart? Tell me Bei Susan," he bellowed.

"I am the one who decides whom I want to love. I do not want a spoiled and dependent woman who claims their parents wealth as theirs," he paused to raise her chin so that she would look at him.

He wiped her tears and continued. "I told not to see yourself as a lowly poor orphan. In fact I do not care about your opinion anymore neither can I wait for you to realize your feelings for me," he said.

"From now on you are my girlfriend. After work I will follow you home, pack your stuff and live that one room apartment you live in because we are going to live together in my apartment, whether you like it or not," he stated with a stern face and resolved voice.historical

Hi guys. It is Pooh once again. I hope you guys are enjoying the book. I wanted to use this medium to say that all names, places, companies and restaurants are all fictional. It is all my own imagination.

I do not want to be misunderstood for using names that are not mine without consent.

Please continue to read, vote, gift, review and drop your comments. You guys are quiet and it is creeping me out.

But so far, as for those supporting me, thank you for your support and love. It goes a long way by encouraging me as this is the first time I am doing something like this.

Pooh loves you all, muah ??????.
